Market Theater Gum Wall:

Tragically, Market Theater Gum Wall was scraped clean in November of 2015…but of course, The Man can’t keep such an important piece of Seattle history down, and within hours, the first few wads of gum were back on this alley wall in Pike Place. When they cleaned it, though, they removed over 2,000 pounds of chewed up gum.
If you’re not too grossed out by the gum to grab a bite to eat, you should sample one of the city’s favorite dishes: chowder. They offer different kinds at Pike Place Chowder. The Market Chowder is a great way to go, since it just has whatever the chef thinks looks best that day, but they also make a mean smoked salmon chowder, and even have a vegan, gluten-free option.
